Literacy

Over 1 BILLION people in the world are illiterate. (FAO Newsroom) 20% of American adults cannot read above the 5th grade level. (Educational-Portal)

These statistics are scary, but we can help. By reading to and with your children, donating time to read stories to children in classrooms, mentoring young adults or assisting with Adult Literacy Programs, we can change lives for the better and create a more stable economy.
